well, I tried to do what the link said, but it didn't work
then I tried to compile the nvidia drivers downloaded from nvidia's site and install them, but that didn't work either.
I get the same message as you do when I try to run tux racer, and i unmerged and remerged tuxracer after doing both of these.
maybe need something in the XF86Config file I think, or a USE variable for make.conf?
I am just getting started with the whole "not prepacked" thing, and so far Gentoo has been really cool, and kde 3 is pretty neet too, even if it is bulky.

From what I understand, it is only people with the 1.1a gentoo install that have installed recently...
Maybe the kernel that we are using 2.4.19 with a whole bunch o patches is what is causing the nvdriver to not work with opengl?
Does this sound like a viable idea? Even if it doesn't I know that 2.4.17 with hedrick's patch works for me under redhat with the nvidia stuff, cause i play RTCW with that setup. I am going to try a different kernel tonight, I will let you guys know what happens.
